Trump names pro-life leader to key HHS post

"As the former President and CEO of Americans United for Life, Charmaine Yoest has spoken at length about her desire to ban abortion in this country, and has spent her career working to abolish women's most basic constitutional right to bodily autonomy". She is perfectly suited to take on this role at HHS and it is no surprise to see President Trump once again appoint a strong, pro-life woman to his team.

In an interview with The Atlantic, which noted that AUL "is nearly single-handedly responsible for the wave of pro-life legislation that state legislatures have passed in recent years", she compared her strategy to a game of chess: "In terms of social change you have to think about what's the next move". AUL's ultimate goal is to end abortion. "You're not going to capture the queen in one fell swoop".

Under Yoest, the group pushed model bills that outlawed abortion after 20 weeks, required abortion providers to gain admitting privileges at local hospitals, and mandated counseling and waiting periods for women seeking abortions.

"Focus on the state houses and test the limits of Roe v. Wade", she told World Congress of Families attendees. "The story of the next several decades is one of trench warfare and gaining ground under the radar". Anti-abortion groups that push for burdensome and unnecessary restrictions for abortion clinics, such as widening their hallways and applying for unnecessary licenses, claim they are trying to keep abortion clinics safe for women, when the intention is actually to force the clinic to shut down. Mother Jones also reported that, in 2011, 24 out of 92 anti-abortion laws were directly linked to the AUL.

That report was cited by extremists in Congress, and by Karen Handel, who was vice president of public policy at Susan G. Komen for the Cure, to justify cutting funds for Planned Parenthood.

"This nomination helps fulfill that twisted promise and speaks volumes about the Trump administration's continued disdain for reproductive freedom and women's rights", Hogue continued. And just like that, one of the United States' health officials will be a zealot who refuses to acknowledge valid research and believes established medical facts spring from the liberal imagination.

In her capacity as the assistant secretary, Yoest will use her history of manipulation in order to "shape the department's communication strategy".
